lated, and we trust that her efforts 

 in this society will be successful. The 

 idea is entirely her own, and it sets 

 the pace for florists' clubs of other 

 cities. The first regular meeting was 

 held in the Florists' Club rooms on 

 Dec. 1st at which time preliminary ar- 

 rangements were talked over for a 

 large delegation of ladies to atend the 

 S. A. F. convention at Baltimore. 



ROCHESTER FLORISTS' ASSOCIA- 

 TION. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Rochester Florists' Association was 

 held December 11th, about forty mem- 

 bers being present. Owing to the en- 

 forced absence of President Vick, 

 Vice-president Wilson was In the 

 chair. The usual routine of business 

 was interesting, especially the report 

 of Treasurer W. J. Keller, who read 

 that about $350 was still in the treas- 

 ury and every bill paid up to date. 

 This is a splendid showing, especially 

 after the recent flower show, which 

 was a very expensive effort. But, 

 thanks to Chas. H. Vick, the general 

 manager of the show, the association 

 came out ahead. Next meeting will 

 be in .January, at which time the an- 

 nual election of officers will take place.
